There's been no good news that I've read about them. Why do you ask??

I was just looking for a price on a set of wheels, but no answer to anything.

I have no actual "facts" - I do have TWO sets of their wheels... but from the conversations around the forums - I'd avoid this particular supplier at this time. Seems they don't answer the phone (never a good sign)...

It's a real shame too. There was a blue 2nd Gen at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale this year wearing their split 5-spoke wheels that looked fantastic. Really a nicely detailed wheel, along with being great quality.

I emailed them maybe 1 month ago about some new inner rims. Tricia responded in 2 days and followed up with me multiple times. I haven't completed the purchase so can't comment on part delivery .

Does anybody know if Formula 43 is still in business and have contact info? I have a set of their RADS5 rims and would like to get wider hoops to accommodate a wider tire.

If not, anyone know of a company that might be able to assist if I send them my front wheels?

Not sure if it will work but here is the email I used when talking with Tricia a while back [email protected]

At the time I was also looking into widening my hoops. I talked with Forgeline about it too and think it was possible to use their hoops as well. I never confirmed the bolt patterns were 100% the same but I would say reach out to them and try.

Most three piece wheels use hoops from one of two manufacturers. I can't remember if Formula 43 made their own, but I'm guessing they use a standard (40 - If I remember correctly) bolt pattern.

I would second reaching out to Forgeline to see if they can take care of your wheels!

They're local to me. I don't think they've been in business for a while. For what it's worth I believe they use their own rim halves.
